Hot Yoga

I usually just log mine as regular yoga, which I know is probably lower calorie burn than hot yoga, but I figure that's ok since the calorie burn estimations on here are typically a bit high anyway.

I do LOVE some hot yoga though

I've wondered this myself and after looking around online, I came across this site:

Not sure how accurate it is, but might still give you a good idea of what your calorie burn is!

Holy ****, I just entered in my info for "Intense Yoga" since Hot Yoga isn't quite as hardcore as Bikram (but still pretty intense) and it says I burn 511 calories in one hour! That's way more than the MFP traditional yoga calculation...I'm gonna assume the actual is somewhere in the middle maybe?

I wear a HRM when I practice hot yoga. My calorie burn was 500ish cals for a 90 minute class.

I just added "Hot Yoga" into the database with a calorie burn of 500 for 90 minutes. This probably will vary from person to person, but that's a good ballpark figure to go off of. Thanks!

oh man, i drank so much water before, ate a banana, and it might have been because i was getting sick or that i dont really do well with the heat at all but i almost passed out when i did hot bikram yoga, and i ended up puking! it was so pathetic. haha

im really intrigued by it and would love to go, i just wish it was a little bit cooler in the room. it was so overbearing for me, agh!

and yes, when i went to enter it, it wasnt in the database so i just logged it as regular yoga; so thank you for adding it to the database ! ^.^

I just went to yoga for the 2nd time ever. 1 hour of fitness yoga. My hrm says I burned 141 calories. Can that be right? I don't feel like I can honestly log that and eat it back. I probably burn that much watching TV for an hour in my recliner.

Hmm that sounds awfully low to me. I would have to take the class though to know what the activity level is like (never taken a fitness yoga class). I don't take yoga for the purpose of getting a good burn though, I take them to stretch and tone muscle, just so happens I get a good burn in. That said, I only take heated classes so that may be why my calorie burn is higher.

Depends on your body type, weight, length of the session (typically they are 75mins), intensity, age, etc...I think it can be anywhere from 500-1000....not sure.

I want yoga for the same reasons, but why not get some burn in at the same time?

I just received Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown from Amazon yesterday. I hope I can reap all the benefits.

That seems right to me I wear my hrm and burn about 175 for a 75 min class remember the breath movement in yoga can actually slow your heart rate but it is still great for tonoing and strengthening. I just wouldnt eat back those calories burned

You can use Hatha Yoga - that is in the db.

My only workout is Hot Power Yoga.

I wear a HRM to my 75 min class and I burn 425-550 calories, it depends on how intense you practice, are you doing all the poses, how quick is the flow or are you going into childs pose/not doing all the pushups etc.

My class is 95' with 80% humidity - Each studio can make the classes what they want, they do follow the same Sun Salutations but the rest is dependant of the style they teach (my studio is Baron Baptiste). Birkim is a practice of 19 poses done in a certain order (never changes no matter what studio you attend) and does not flow.

MPF is known to over/under estimate most of the exercises. It's best to invest in a HRM.
